Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.
The church is located on Barlow Road in rural Copiah County, Mississippi. It was the church home of my paternal grandmother when she was a young girl. Buried in the church cemetery are members of Grandma Gertrude Overton's kin.

I always intrigued by small rural churches like this one--and wish that I knew more about their history.

I find researching church histories intriguing. Spend most of my time researching people, hoping to spend more time on land and institutions research.
It reminds me of the Church on St. Johns Road, St. John Baptist church. It burned down right before we left and now there is a more modern church.
I just found out that we are susposed to have people buried here.
What are the surnames of those buried there?
